Hi,
It is common to use the same DLCI numbers on different line numbers.
A frame service consists of a physical line and a virtual channel. The DLCI
points you to a virtual channel on the physical line. Each physical line
will go to a separate interface therefore you can only have a particular
DLCI number appearing only once on an interface but a number of different
DLCI's per interface.
Here are some views of real life,

Some details are changed a little but the stuff here comes out of real
life. I clearly shows the same DLCI number can be used on different
interfaces and multiple DCLI's on one interface.
Sorry about the long windedness but I felt this would show it more clearly.
